When a schism developed in the Time Lords' College of Cardinals, Cardinal Thorac declared himself Lord President and set up his own High Council on the planet Drornid. He put together an army with the hopes of overthrowing the Gallifreyan High Council. Thorac ruled Drornid from a massive statue of himself; his court was within the statue, and from the statue he transmitted a pacification beam which kept the local population happy and quiet. (PROSE: Shada, Alien Bodies) Dronid was well known for its warp-poets. (PROSE: The Tomorrow Windows)
